"THIS." It's been a while since I've read a Best Of candidate, but this certainly has to be in the pool for Best of 2020 ET posts....
"number of candlesticks"? No, none -- because the response would be dependent on the chosen time window. "ratio of total up|down movement" There...
True -- of those who speak or write reprehensible things to which they do not wish any light shown. Hey! Let's substitute the word "dishonorable"...
You would do well to ignore "Investopedia" as a source for trading or investment knowledge, as it is rife with inaccuracies, unsupported claims,...
If you try to attach rules to that (and then backtest it -- even 'by eye'), you'll find the lie: a trigger to exit is not a trigger to enter in...
